Ingredients

• * 1 - 19oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
• * 1 package silken, firm tofu, drained (425g)
• * 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• * 1 tablespoon finely ground coffee (I didn't have any in the house and so substituted 1 1/2 teaspoons ground espresso powder)
• * 3/4 cup sugar
• * 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• * 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted and stirred smooth
• * 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• * 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• * 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. 1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. In a food processor, combine the beans and tofu until well combined.

2. 2. Scrape the sides, then add the vanilla, coffee, baking powder, soda, salt, sugar and cocoa powder.

3. 3. Scrape down sides and add the melted chocolate, mixing well to combine.

4. 4. Spray or line miniature muffin tins with mini-liners and add the batter to the pan filling to the top. With a moistened, clean finger, pat down the batter evenly.

5. 5. Bake for approximately 25 -30 minutes, cool almost completely before turning out to a cooling rack to finish.

6. Serve as is or with either powdered sugar sprinkled on top or a berry sauce (strawberry or raspberry would go beautifully with it).
